Yesterday afternoon (Feb 6th) while driving down Alto Road in Franklin
County a Red-headed Woodpecker flew in front of my car. This is the first
one that I've seen in the county since moving here 18 months ago. In the
town of Decherd, I saw a (presumed) male Eurasian Collared-Dove vigorously
courting a (presumed) female. Does anyone know when the breeding season is
for this species in TN? When I lived in England, they could be found
breeding year-round.
Finally, a belated report of four Sandhill Cranes seen on January 31st.
They flew over the car as I was driving down Hwy 64, approximately 4 miles
north of Decherd.
Cheers,
Chris Butler
